Chapter Seventy-Seven: Dreams
Despite the increased speed, by dusk the town was nowhere to be seen.
It seems that he can only deal with it for a night in the wild, Yuan Xing secretly curses himself for making a mistake, while looking for a place to spend the night, and finally finds a dilapidated building on the hillside by the river.
Yuan Xing looked at it, and when he was sure that there was no one else inside, he tied the horse to the half-broken doorpost. Then he led Hong Qingyao and stepped on the weeds to approach the abandoned temple with three rooms.
I don't know how long it has been abandoned, and the walls and gates have long been hidden in the grass. The east wing also collapsed and could not be entered, leaving only the west wing and the main hall remaining.
Yuan Xing saw the statue of Guanyin in the hall at a glance, and was busy worshipping the ten times, and then led the little girl to the side hall, first looked at whether the building was solid, and then cleaned a place, and then picked up the dry wood nearby, lit the bonfire, and placed the sleeping bag.
By this time, the sun had set in the west, and there was only a trace of afterglow emitting light and heat. While he could barely see it, Yuan Xing came to the main hall, cleaned the inside, and used the broken wooden barrel found in the side hall to get water from the river, moistened the towel, and began to carefully wipe the stone statue of Guanyin, while Hong Qingyao had been honestly standing by and watching him busy.
By the time all this was done, it was completely dark. Yuan Xing looked at the main hall, which was already very similar to that, and breathed a long sigh of relief with satisfaction.
---------------------
Maybe because of the first time she spent the night in the wild, Hong Qingyao was lying in a soft sleeping bag, although her expression looked as usual and she looked blank, but she refused to close her eyes and fall asleep, Yuan Xing saw her like this, she knew that her opportunity to play her strengths had come, and immediately told her her the fairy tale of the rabbit and the eagle fighting wits and courage, but after this long and boring story was told, the little girl was still full of energy.
Yuan Xing couldn't help but scratch his head, he couldn't think of what to say for a while, and suddenly caught a glimpse of his shadow on the wall, and his heart moved, and he immediately had an idea.
Now he repeated the story of Fang Cai, only this time, as he spoke, his hands were crossed in front of the campfire, causing the projections on the wall to change in various forms, one moment an eagle soaring in the sky, and the other into a clever and witty rabbit. He performed vigorously, and Hong Qingyao over there actually sat up and ran to his side, and began to dance his hands like him, so on the wall of this side hall, there was a small bird not far from the big eagle, and a small lion stood next to the little rabbit. As for the small problem of saying that this story is too different from the previous version, it is really nothing.
Yuan Xing's mouth kept talking, but his eyes were always on the face of the little girl beside him, there was still no change in the expression on her face, but the beautiful big eyes were shining in the light of the fire.
It seems that this girl's psychological disorder is not as serious as imagined, and there is still a lot of hope for saving. Well, take your time, the situation will always be fine, and the heart of the fate line is filled with a sense of accomplishment.
Get along for a month, although treat Jin Yuanzheng as a disciple. But Yuan Xing doesn't like this person, I really don't know how the abbot became friends with him in the first place, just from the treatment of Jin An, you can see that he is ruthless, hypocritical, and not a person from himself at all.
If it weren't for the task on his head, I'm afraid he would have hid far away and wouldn't want to see it. And the reason why he agreed to Jin Yuanzheng's request was just because of the compassion and compassion of the Buddhist disciples, and he really felt sorry for this little girl with a miserable background.
Thinking about it, he has taught the little novice martial arts, and he has also been a teacher to help bear children, but he has never put so much energy into taking care of a child as he does now, and he is still a little girl with psychological problems. Seeing that the other party was doing well under his careful care, and his condition was also developing on the better side, he felt that he had done the right thing. Although he lost the opportunity to reunite with his master, he saved an innocent child, and this trip was not lost......
-------------------------
When Yuanxing was in the temple, he wanted to go home, but after returning home, he began to miss his master and brother. His parents gave birth to him, raised him, taught him to love him, but the master and brother in the temple also had the grace of upbringing, and he was sandwiched in the middle, and the two sides naturally could not be separated. Well, man is such a contradiction, and he never knows what satisfaction is.
This night, I am afraid that it is the closest night to the Tianchan Temple after so many years of going down the mountain, and even the smell in the air is the same as when the temple was doing penance, and the starry sky in the hole in the roof is also so familiar.
Tonight is very calm, there are no mosquitoes, snakes and ants harassment, and there are no uninvited guests who come late at night, and Yuanxing can also rest against the wall. Maybe it's thinking at night and dreaming at night, or maybe it's too tired from traveling, but the fate of having a good quality of sleep since the practice starts dreaming as soon as you close your eyes.
In a trance, the scene of life in the temple is full of eyes.
It was his second year of ordination, and he had already adapted to the boring life of spiritual practice. At that time, my studies were not too heavy, and my work was very easy, so I was only responsible for cleaning the courtyard and the main hall.
But the little novice also has his own troubles, although the spring is not as full of fallen leaves as in autumn, and the yard is supposed to be very clean, but the swallows have returned.
The two birds built a nest on the eaves and kissed me as if no one was around. Yuan Xing swore that there was no envy, jealousy and hatred, they just stayed, but they also did not pay too much attention to hygiene, and every morning when they got up, there would be more bird droppings on the stone platform under the eaves.
This thing looks disgusting and not easy to clean, there will be traces on it after sweeping it, and it can only be wiped clean with a rag dipped in water...... Occupy, look closely, and it's still the same position.
Yuan Xing often gritted his teeth at the bird's nest, but the honest child couldn't think of any good solution at that time, so he could only ask the third senior brother who seemed to be the smartest to help.
After getting some guidance, Yuan Xing didn't know if his head was missing a tendon or he was stupid by the scriptures, so he really found a bamboo pole to stab the swallow's house.
When the swallow returned to the nest, it was naturally a wailing search, and this situation was seen by the passing master, so the fate was tragic, and the palm of his hand was not only hit by the board, but also stood in the courtyard with a basin of water on his head for an hour. But when he was punished, the third senior brother, who was the initiator, gloated and laughed endlessly.
How can this be endured? But he was too small at that time, and he couldn't think of the slightest idea to retaliate.
It was also a coincidence that he caught a glimpse of the third senior brother going to the clean room that day, and Yuan Xing had an idea, found a stone and tiptoed over. Then, he threw the stone into the pit fiercely, and he was still proud at the time, how could he let the hateful third senior brother wash his clothes this time, but I don't know if it was the first time to do this kind of immoral thing and had no experience, so he smashed it off, and then ...... He quickly met the abbot's iron-blue face......
Yuan Xing opened his eyes suddenly, and woke up from his dream, for him, the abbot was too intimidating.
Before dawn, he wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, added a few sticks of firewood to the bonfire, and suddenly pouted and snorted: "This dream is ...... It's so unreal. ”
Well, how could a poor monk do such a stupid thing? It must be because I miss the life in the temple too much that I have such an absurd dream, absolutely yes.
As for being punished by the abbot for cleaning up the house for half a year, it naturally does not exist.
